Hats, Guns, and Undertakers

The Almshouse in Cockeysville held ground for some Civil War reenactors, Saturday afternoon April 21, 2007. According to Civil War reenactor Ralph Aitkin, from Lewistown, PA, during the Civil War times, embalmers, were members of the upper class and doctors, by trade. They brandished fancy pistols to ward off thievery, and wore expensive hats to show their social status. According to Aitkin, a $30 hat in those days is the equivalent of a $5,000 modern headdress. Undertakers, however, were members of the lower class. Their task was to merely bury the dead, not preserve them -- that is, until the number of war slain Civil War officers prompted the embalmers to teach the undertakers how to properly handle and administer embalming fluid, which was 90% arsenic. The newly skilled undertakers charged less for their services, undercutting the wealthy embalmers $100 fee, making headway for what would become the modern-day mortician, those who embalm and bury.
